“Today, Rolls-Royce Motor Cars begins an exploration into alternative drive-trains, seeking clarity on which technology may be suitable to drive Rolls-Royce motor cars of the future.” Rolls-Royce CEO Torsten Muller-Otvos said on the post.

“The alternative drive-train we choose must deliver an authentic Rolls-Royce experience.” He added.

According to the luxury car company, Phantom EE 102EX features an aluminum frame, which replaces the 6.75-liter V12 petrol engine and 6-speed gearbox with a Lithium ion battery pack and two electric motors mounted on the rear sub-frame.

Each motor has a power rate of 145kW, which gives Phantom EE 102EX a maximum power output of 290kW and a torque of 800Nm available over a wide band.

Apparently, a standard Phantom has a 338kW power output with a maximum torque of 720Nm, delivered at 3,500rpm.

However, Rolls-Royce said they don’t have plans to build a production version of this electric car, as it was only built as a test bed, which will allow customers to experience an alternative drive-train technology, which is being expected to feedback their concerns directly to the company.

The launching of 102EX coincided with the formal opening of ElectricLuxury.com, a site where the public is being invited to join the global debate, and for car owners to share their opinions about 102EX electric car.
